Cynthia was referred to me by someone who owns properties on 3 continents. He told me that Cynthia is “the best New York City Real Estate Broker” and I do not need to look for anyone else. After working with Cynthia for the past two years, I echo his words. I’ve had the pleasure to work with Cynthia on two different fronts—property rentals and sales. In both cases, she brought a level of judgement and expertise that comes from knowledge of the NYC market and working with a broad spectrum of clients and properties. She also sets high standards for herself and the properties she represents, so I always felt confident that my property would show well and be rented or sold in a timely manner. Cynthia is such a pleasure to work with. She sets a stable tone and an organized process for what can be a stressful experience. Further, you will not get a cookie cutter approach from her; she has always taken the time to understand my requirements and acted or improved upon them. I am also never at a loss when working with her. If I was unsure of something, she took the time to provide context, information, and solutions. This ranged from the NYC real estate market to vendors who could help fix my plumbing, floors, painting, etc. to legal representation. I also appreciate that she tries to resolve issues up front when working with buyers and renters. I don’t remember a time that she didn’t exhaust all options before bringing an issue to me. This, however, happened rarely. In sum, Cynthia will represent you and your property optimally and conduct business in a professional, solution-oriented, and frictionless manner. You will have peace of mind knowing that your property is in such capable and committed hands. If you're seeking a top-tier real estate broker in New York City, Cynthia is the answer to your search.

Positive: Professionalism, Responsiveness We have worked with several brokers in NYC and Cynthia was by far the best! She organized a great photo shoot at our place, organized an open house quickly, and sold our apartment in 2 weeks. Also proactively used her connections to find us a pocket listing. She is an outstanding broker.

I engaged Cynthia based on her responsiveness, good ideas, and her record in NYC real estate. The day she launched the listing ended up being one of the worst days in stock market history and the beginning of the long Covid-19 ordeal and a terrible time to sell in NYC. It was a beautiful apartment but it was on the ground floor, had a higher than average maintenance, and a few other aspects that made it challenging. But Cynthia met those challenges with determination, patience, and positivity. The whole ordeal took a year and a half and involved 4 different potential buyers, including one that went all the way through the board approval process and was turned down. But Cynthia kept whacking the obstacles out of the way like Wonder Woman, and finally found the buyers she recognized as the ones we had been waiting for all along. It was no fun for my wife and I to have moved out of the city and still be in an expensive limbo for so long but Cynthia was encouraging, positive, and helpful to us the whole way through. I strongly recommend her to anyone selling property in NYC!

I can’t possibly tell you how much my husband and I are loving our new home. I remember looking with you for months for the ideal apartment and almost despair of finding one. Then you called and said the magic words “I found the one” and you are absolutely right!! Apart from your professionalism, timeliness, patience and expertise, what set you apart is your immediate grasp of what I am looking for, plus your absolute tenacity in getting viewings despite short notice and sometimes trying circumstances. And even though your commission was in the bag so to speak, you went the extra mile by following up with the developers who were way overdue with the closing, not to mention your invaluable help with the walk through. Years ago, I rented an apartment through you, now you have found this wonderful apartment for me to buy, and if I ever have to sell, it will only be through you. So, from Robert and myself – a tremendous Thank You!

Our family has worked with Cynthia four times over the last?five years!? She sold two apartments and bought two apartments for us, always with exceptional honesty, diligence, and market knowledge. She knows what is happening in the market and always provided excellent advice on what offers to accept, when to stop negotiating, and what apartments would fit our needs.? We are very pleased with Cynthia's advice and would recommend her highly to anyone thinking or buying or selling a Manhattan property.
